Chargers officially retain DC Gus Bradley, OC Ken Whisenhunt

Tuesday was a bit of a whirlwind for the Chargers as the team saw a report of Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley being sought after by the Seahawks, Packers and other NFL teams by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That was followed by another that stated he would be expected back by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport just a few hours later.

Los Angeles officially put to rest the concerns of fans by reporting that both Bradley and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt would be returning for the 2018 season via their official Twitter account.

The Chargers had one of the best scoring defenses in the NFL under Bradley, finishing the season No. 3 in scoring defense (17 points per game) as well as the No. 3 passing defense (197.2 yards per game).

Meanwhile, Whisenhunt’s unit ranked No. 1 in the NFL in passing offense (276.9 yards per game) and No. 4 in overall offense (376.6 yards per game). Rapoport also reported that head coach Anthony Lynn is expected to return as well, though it is unclear whether or not that was ever in question after his team finished the season winning 6-of-7 games.
